I have no troubles bringing it up on a standard XT, with the 3com ethernet card, but the machines that we want to get it running on are the "new" XT's, with new roms, 640k on the motherboard, and a really obnoxious keyboard, running DOS 3.2. I have talked to my local sales rep, who tells me of a DECnet DOS 1.2 which will cure the DOS 3.2 problems, but no one seems to know if it will cure the problems with the machine itself. Has anyone else run into this? Also: It may just be our crowded DECnet, but many of the task to task functions of DECnet-DOS seem to be very sluggish. How about anyone else? I am very interested in hearing of other people's experience with DECnet DOS. thanks! Steve ====================================================================== Stephen G.
